THE Columbia Democratic Club at
Its meeting last night, on motion of
Mr.. VIM. Dickson, agreed to take &C.
tion looking to the meeting of the next
National Democratic Convention In
this city. 1t is proposition that may
well enlist the active support, not only
Of the District Democracy, but of citi.
zens generally. The only serious OBJ.
jection that occurs to us is the want
of proper hall for such a convention,
and THE CRITIC would renew the sug-
gestion which 1t has heretofore made
that building expressly designed for
the accommodation of large Assem-.
blages is one OF the greatest needs of
the National Capital. A wigwam or
the Northern Liberty Market may
be extemporized for the uses of Ma.
tional Convention, but some permanent
and elaborate structure, well appoint
ed throughout and with hall capacity
Of not less than five to eight thousand
peopl', is an important desideratum.
In city of so much wealth and enter.
prise as Washington, 1t is, indeed,
surprising that this matter has been so
long overlooked. 1t is the growing
tendency of all associated bodies to
hold their annual meetings here, and
could better provision be made to seat
them, with all the necessary waiting
rooms and committee. Washing
ton would soon become the convention
city of the country. That the building
required could be made paying in.
vestment through Its rentals, with a
hall not higher In any event than the
third story, is scarcely to be questioned.

WASHINGTON. OCTOBER 10, 1887.
THE BANKERS CONVENTION.

A remarkable gathering Of bankers
from every portion OF the United States
is In session at Plttsburg. The promi.
nent financiers of East and West,
North and South have responded more
generally than usual to this call, and
there is an evident recognition of the
fact that the questions affecting the
welfare and very existence of the great
national banking system are year by
year assuming more critical import.
anCc
Hon. Daniel Agnew, oX Chief.Justlcc
of Pennsylvania, IN one OF the principal
addresses yesterday, called attention to
the rapid approach of time when the
national banking system will have to
defend the right to its Constitutional
existence. Mr.. Agnaw recognizes the
necessity for convincing the people that
the national bank is not a mere device
for funding war debt and the product
of the eNigencies of war times, to
expire with the expiration of the
bonds, but a great permanent inslltu.
tion essential to the general welfare and
in accord with express provisions of
the Constitution.
The defense of the system as one
foreseen by the founders of the Con.
stitution, or at least authorized by the
power vested In Congress TO provide
for the execution Of the fiscal functions
Of the Government, is one of the most
important features Of the proceedings
of the convention.
The bankers by series of striking
addresses have made apparent the ne
cessity for checking the accumulations
OF Treasury surplus; for funding the
four per cent. bonds; for treating the
banks with greater liberality; for
simplifying and remodeling financial
laws in many ways, but the future
basis of National bank circulation
and the status of the system
twenty years hence are matters TO
which the financers merely invite at.
tention, study and statesmanship, as
among the great questions which the
Legislation of the next few years must
solve in manner that cannot yet be
foreseen,
